Activating a Microsoft Office 2024 LTSC Professional Plus key is really simple, just follow these steps:

  1. Download the Office Deployment Tool from the Microsoft Download Center
  2. Once you have a copy of the ODT, the next step is to create a configuration.xml file. Use the Office Customization Tool (OCT) instead of a text editor to create your configuration.xml file.
  3. Once you have a copy of the ODT and created your configuration.xml file, you can download the Office LTSC 2024 installation files to your local network. To do this, open an elevated command prompt, navigate to the folder where you saved the ODT and the configuration.xml file, and enter the following command: setup /download configuration.xml
  4. Install Office LTSC 2024 by using the Office Deployment Tool - open an elevated command prompt, navigate to the folder where you saved the ODT and the configuration.xml file, and enter the following command: setup /configure configuration.xml

  • It does not link to a Microsoft account.
  • It is recommended that customers activate it via telephone (an automated system).
  • For this license, the important thing is that there is no redeeming website.
